01NOV2015 Kemptville, Ontario, canada 5:12 pm local. Bright meteor streak that broke up into 3-4 fire balls before extinguishing. About 30• above the horizon. Tracking south west, in the sky south east of Kemptville. I suspect it fell in the area of morisburg on. Or in upper ny state - R. Big

01NOV2015 Jill Potsaid Carlisle, MA 17:08 EST About 7 seconds It moved from right to left and angled downward in an arc. I was driving on route 3 going north. It looked bright white with maybe the littlest hint of yellow. It was brighter than Venus, it looked fake because it was so bright! It had about the same intensity as the moon. I did not see any parts falling off while It was traveling through the sky, but at the end it broke apart into little sparks and then disappeared. I wish I could have taken a picture, but I was driving. I also wasn't sure what I was looking at because it was such an intense object. When it broke into sparks and vanished it clicked with me what I was actually looking at! It was awesome!

Giant Asteroid Occultation of Bright Star Regulus 20MAR2014

Giant Asteroid
Asteroid 163 Erigone Occultation of Bright Star Regulus March 20 Giant Asteroid to Black Out Bright Star Regulus March 20
Posted to YouTube by nemesis maturity 25 views
In the early morning hours of March 20, 2014, Erigone is expected to occult the first-magnitude star Regulus[4] as first predicted by A. Vitagliano in 2004. Regulus is about 78 light-years away from Earth and the brightest star in Leo and roughly the 21st brightest star in sky. This may be the best and brightest asteroid occultation ever predicted to occur over a populated area.
Although Erigone will come nowhere near Earth, as it passes in front of the star its shadow of approximately 110 kilometres (68 mi) wide[ will sweep across Nassau and Suffolk counties, all five boroughs of New York City and the Hudson River Valley, with the center of the predicted shadow path following a line roughly connecting New York City, White Plains, Newburgh, Oneonta, Rome and Pulaski before crossing into Canada near Belleville and North Bay, Ontario. Observers in the shadow path may see the star wink out for as long as 14 seconds. The Planetary Society has provided maps to help observers.

Ancient tsunami 'hit New York' 20MAY09

Ancient tsunami 'hit New York'
By Molly Bentley, Science reporter
BBC NEWS 3MAY09
A huge wave crashed into the New York City region 2,300 years ago, dumping sediment and shells across Long Island and New Jersey and casting wood debris far up the Hudson River.
The scenario, proposed by scientists, is undergoing further examination to verify radiocarbon dates and to rule out other causes of the upheaval. ...
